Chapter 37

1Now Yaakov was settled in the land where his father had sojourned, the land of Canaan.

vai-YAY-shev ya-a-KOV b'-E-retz m'-gu-RAY a-VEEV b'-E-retz k'-na-AN

אוַיֵּ֣שֶׁב יַעֲקֹ֔ב בְּאֶ֖רֶץ מְגוּרֵ֣י אָבִ֑יו בְּאֶ֖רֶץ כְּנָֽעַן׃

2This, then, is the line of Yaakov: At seventeen years of age, Yosef tended the flocks with his brothers, as a helper to the sons of his father's wives Bilha and Zilpa. And Yosef brought bad reports of them to their father.

AY-leh tol-DOT ya-a-KOV yo-SAYF ben sh'-va es-RAY sha-NAH ha-YAH ro-EH et e-KHAV ba-TZON v'-HU NA-ar et b'-NAY bil-HAH v'-et b'-NAY zil-PAH n'-SHAY a-VEEV va-ya-VAY yo-SAYF et di-ba-TAM ra-AH el a-vee-HEM

3Now Yisrael loved Yosef best of all his sons, for he was the child of his old age; and he had made him an ornamented tunic.

4And when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of his brothers, they hated him so that they could not speak a friendly word to him.

5Once Yosef had a dream which he told to his brothers; and they hated him even more.

6He said to them, “Hear this dream which I have dreamed:

vai-YO-mer a-LE-hem, shim-U-na ha-kha-LOM ha-ZEH a-SHER kha-laM'-TEE

ווַיֹּ֖אמֶר אֲלֵיהֶ֑ם שִׁמְעוּ־נָ֕א הַחֲל֥וֹם הַזֶּ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר חָלָֽמְתִּי׃

7There we were binding sheaves in the field, when suddenly my sheaf stood up and remained upright; then your sheaves gathered around and bowed low to my sheaf.”

8His brothers answered, “Do you mean to reign over us? Do you mean to rule over us?” And they hated him even more for his talk about his dreams.

vai-YO-meru LO e-KHA-yav, ha-ma-LOKH tim-LOKH a-LE-nu, im ma-SHOL tim-SHOL BA-nu, vai-YO-si-FU OD se-NO o-TO al-kha-LO-mo-TAV v'-al d'-va-RAV

9He dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers, saying, “Look, I have had another dream: And this time, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.”

vai-ya-cha-LOM OD cha-LOM a-KHER va-y'-sa-PAYR o-TO l'-e-KHA-yav va-YO-mer, hi-NEH cha-LAM-tee cha-LOM OD, v'-hi-NEH ha-SHE-mesh v'-ha-ya-RAY-akh v'-a-KHAD a-SAR ko-KHA-veem mish-ta-cha-VEEM lee

10And when he told it to his father and brothers, his father berated him. “What,” he said to him, “is this dream you have dreamed? Are we to come, I and your mother and your brothers, and bow low to you to the ground?”

vai-ye-SA-fayr el a-VEEV v'-el e-KHAV, vai-yig-AR bo a-VEEV, vai-YO-mer LO, ma ha-kha-LOM ha-ZEH a-SHER kha-laM-ta? ha-VO na-VO a-NEE v'-i-ME-kha v'-a-KHE-kha, l'-his-ta-KHA-vot LE-kha a-RETZ-a

11So his brothers were wrought up at him, and his father kept the matter in mind.

12One time, when his brothers had gone to pasture their father's flock at Shechem,

va-yel-KHU e-KHAV lir-OT et-TZON a-ve-HEM bish-KHEM

יבוַיֵּלְכ֖וּ אֶחָ֑יו לִרְע֛וֹת אֶׄתׄ־צֹ֥אן אֲבִיהֶ֖ם בִּשְׁכֶֽם׃

13Yisrael said to Yosef, “Your brothers are pasturing at Shechem. Come, I will send you to them.” He answered, “I am ready.”

14And he said to him, “Go and see how your brothers are and how the flocks are faring, and bring me back word.” So he sent him from the valley of Chevron. When he reached Shechem,

15a man came upon him wandering in the fields. The man asked him, “What are you looking for?”

16He answered, “I am looking for my brothers. Could you tell me where they are pasturing?”

17The man said, “They have gone from here, for I heard them say: Let us go to Dothan.” So Yosef followed his brothers and found them at Dothan.

18They saw him from afar, and before he came close to them they conspired to kill him.

19They said to one another, “Here comes that dreamer!

20Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; and we can say, ‘A savage beast devoured him.' We shall see what comes of his dreams!”

21But when Reuven heard it, he tried to save him from them. He said, “Let us not take his life.”

22And Reuven went on, “Shed no blood! Cast him into that pit out in the wilderness, but do not touch him yourselves”—intending to save him from them and restore him to his father.

23When Yosef came up to his brothers, they stripped Yosef of his tunic, the ornamented tunic that he was wearing,

24and took him and cast him into the pit. The pit was empty; there was no water in it.

25Then they sat down to a meal. Looking up, they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilad, their camels bearing gum, balm, and ladanum to be taken to Egypt.

26Then Yehuda said to his brothers, “What do we gain by killing our brother and covering up his blood?

27Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, but let us not do away with him ourselves. After all, he is our brother, our own flesh.” His brothers agreed.

28When Midianite traders passed by, they pulled Yosef up out of the pit. They sold Yosef for twenty pieces of silver to the Ishmaelites, who brought Yosef to Egypt.

29When Reuven returned to the pit and saw that Yosef was not in the pit, he rent his clothes.

30Returning to his brothers, he said, “The boy is gone! Now, what am I to do?”

31Then they took Yosef's tunic, slaughtered a kid, and dipped the tunic in the blood.

32They had the ornamented tunic taken to their father, and they said, “We found this. Please examine it; is it your son's tunic or not?”

33He recognized it, and said, “My son's tunic! A savage beast devoured him! Yosef was torn by a beast!”

34Yaakov rent his clothes, put sackcloth on his loins, and observed mourning for his son many days.

35All his sons and daughters sought to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, saying, “No, I will go down mourning to my son in Sheol.” Thus his father bewailed him.
